    Hi Punitha,
    When I asked my mom the same question about 60 years of age, she answered that, by this age mostly son or daughter would have married, so becomes like a ghost in the eyes of the in-laws or as they say 'the second childhood returns' with more adamancy on our part, may be that is the reason for this kind of proverb.

    give me the secret for your young-looking make-up, maybe it might need later, Punitha!

    Hi Meena,
    Happy to sweet your post.
    If we write only after we get to experience it will be impossible.
    One thing came to my mind---that if we have to learn from our mistakes only, then this life time is not enough, so let us learn from other people's mistakes. what do you say?

    I cannot wait for 2 decades because I might have developed the ghostly qualities Big Laugh(Personally think not to) and cannot accept what you write at that time.
    Or maybe I would have completely forgotten about this thread itself,bonk so common get to write your comments!

    Hi vanaja,

    How long should I wait to get a comment from you on this thread?
    (came to know that you are less than 40)
    This is an indirect way to get to know your age (?).

    Hi Uma,
    Some of the proverbs do have some message which helps us in our life.

    glad to note that you got right in time to make others work 'perfectly'.
    I also got to know the meaning of the saying -'haste makes waste' through my personal experience, eventhough it didn't cost anything 'costly'.

    Very interesting thread!
    Had a hearty laugh at puni's comment and Meena's teasing...
    Ghosts will be awake at night(personally I don't believe in ghosts)-PAY RAATHRI THAAN NADAMAADUM!
    After 60 sound sleep at night will be difficult and some ppl will 'nada(na?)maadify I guess.

    I really do not know what happens to others when they reach 60 but I can speak for myself. At 60, I started writing blogs!:thumbsup

    How can you think if you bang your head like this?? You will lose the 1300-1400 g lying inside your head if you do so.....

    Note: Pls forgive me if you feel that you don't have that 1300-1400 g part to lose it..:mrgreen:
